Clooney, 57, had just left his hotel on a motor scooter when he crashed into a small truck, Italy's Chi magazine said on its website. "He is recovering at home and will be fine", a source told the Daily Mail.

Police told NBC News that the accident happened around 8:15 a.m. local time when a vehicle did not obey the right of way and collided with Clooney at an intersection.

The hospital confirmed to NBC News that Clooney has already been discharged.

The actor was taken via ambulance to a local hospital and released later the same day.
